Structural Wood Panel Production For'93 Up 4%

Structural wood panel production in both the U.S. and Canada is expected to finish 1993 about 47o ahead of 1992 and iw ZVo in 1994, members learned at the 57th annual American Plywood Association meeting in Tucson, Az., Sept. 28.

Total plywood and oriented strand board production in the two countries is forecast to reach 31.5 billion sq. ft. , exceeding the 31.4 billion ft. 1988 record, according to APA's annual End-Use Marketing Profiles for Structural Panels.

Other projections : o 32.2 billion ft. total 1994 U.S. and Canadian panel production. o 600 million sq. ft. decrease in 1994 U.S. plywood production; 50 million sq. fL less in Canada o 850 million ft. increase in 1994

U.S. OSB production; 500 million ft. more in Canada o 2.9 bitlion ft. decline in 1994 western plywood production o 288 million ft. 1993 U.S. glulam beam production, 17 million ft. over 1992; 308 million ft. in 1994 o 350 million tt. 1993 U.S. and Canadian wood I-joist production, 125 million ft. above 1992; 386 million ft. ur1994 o 25 million ft. 1993 U.S. and Canadian laninated veneer lumber production, up 7 million ft. over 1992; 29 million fr. in 1994

Many complex challenges and opportunities face the structuml wood panel and engineered wood products industries, APA executives told members.

Chairman Dennis A. Spencer, Stone Forest Industries, Inc., Medford, Or., said "We wouldn't be here on the 60th anniversary of this great association, if we hadn't learned long ago to adapt, to adjust and !o create new opportunities for ourselves."

Both Spencer and president David Rogoway advised the 400 attendees from the U.S. and Canada to continue to battle to restore stability through responsible management of national forests. Rogoway pointed out that a new kind of green marketing is demanded, stressing engineered wood products have become synonymous with "environmental sensitivity, better resource utilization, less waste and inproved quality."

The meeting incorporated for tle first time a two day exhibition of products and services for the indus0ry called Info Fair 93.
